|PersonFreeText='''Braulio López''' is a Uruguayan folk singer and guitarist, widely known as one half of the influential musical duo [[Los Olimareños]], which he formed with [[Pepe Guerra]] around 1960. His career spans more than six decades and includes both group and solo work, with a deep legacy in Uruguayan popular music.

== Early Career with Los Olimareños ==

In 1960, Braulio López co-founded Los Olimareños with José Luis “Pepe” Guerra in their hometown of Treinta y Tres, Uruguay. The duo quickly rose to prominence for their distinctive vocal harmonies and strong cultural identity rooted in Uruguayan rural life. Their music often featured lyrics with political and social commentary, which became a hallmark of their style.

== Censorship and Exile ==

During the Uruguayan civic-military dictatorship (1973–1985), the government banned the music of Los Olimareños due to its politically charged content. Facing increasing repression and censorship, López and Guerra went into exile, spending several years abroad in countries such as Spain and Mexico. Their return to Uruguay in 1984, prior to the official restoration of democracy, was met with an outpouring of public support and culminated in a historic concert at the Estadio Centenario.

== Solo Career ==

Following the dissolution of Los Olimareños in 1990, Braulio López embarked on a solo career, continuing to explore folk and popular music traditions with his signature voice and guitar style. In 2001, he collaborated with Julio Víctor González (formerly of [[Dúo Zucará]]) to release a double album titled Solos y Juntos. This collaboration was well received in the Uruguayan folk music community and marked a significant moment in his post-duo trajectory.

== Reunion and Farewell Concerts ==

In 2009, Los Olimareños reunited for a final set of concerts at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. Held on 8 and 9 May, these sold-out performances were announced as the farewell concerts of Pepe Guerra, and served as a celebratory closure for the duo’s decades-long influence on Latin American music.

== Personal Life ==

Braulio López has been married four times and is the father of four children. Despite his fame, he has largely kept his personal life private, focusing instead on his enduring contribution to Uruguayan culture and the legacy of Los Olimareños.
